Top of Mind Thursday December 3, 2015: Are We Black Friday’d Out?

Top of Mind Thursday

Black Friday. Small Business Saturday. Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday. Wellness Wednesday.

We’ve now used almost every day of the week to target holiday sales. The question is whether any of this is working anymore.

Online sales for Cyber Monday started as much as a week earlier. Black Friday specials went for days afterwards. All of the special events seemed to meld together.

Does this attract more shoppers or just create so much noise they all tune out? It’s too early to tell, but physical store sales were down this past weekend from previous years. I can attest to that personally–our visit to the mall on Sunday found more promotions than shoppers.

Top of Mind Thursday November 26, 2015: Beyond Feasting, Football, and Frenzy

Top of Mind Thursday

Today, Americans celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday–a time of feasting, football, and preparation for the frenzied start of the holiday shopping season.

We each have much to be thankful for–regardless of our individual circumstances.

This year, in the shadow of recent terror attacks, we should be adding freedom to the menu. We are free here to come and go as we choose, free to do what we will with our lives, free to express our views on any subject, and even free to participate in a long, drawn-out presidential election process where candidates of all persuasions and sensibilities appear.

We’re free to do what we want with the day–and with every other day. That’s something we should never take for granted. Ask the turkey.
